"Does the defendant have any objections?" The judge looked at Linna who was beside Bucky.

Lina stood up and said, "Your Honor, we do not agree with the term intentional homicide. When our client was performing tasks related to Hydra—of course including the assassination of the Starks, he always In a state of unconsciousness and control, I don't think my client's behavior meets the definition of intentional homicide."

The judge glanced at the case file and said, "The witness is in court."

The witness, who sat two seats across from Garcia, was ushered into the witness stand. His face, which Garcia knew all too well, occasionally wore a cynical smile. When looking at the Winter Soldier, he occasionally Frowning, but most of the time with an indifferent expression, standing behind Pierce with a weapon on his waist - Brock Rumlow.

"What is your identity?" the judge asked Rumlow.

"Agent of Hydra, recently imprisoned, very unlucky." Rumlow said, his tone was indifferent, even contemptuous.

"What is your relationship to the accused?"

"Colleague? Accompanied by the fight? Who the hell knows." Rumlow said.

"Rumlow," Lena got up, and she asked Rumlow, "When Sergeant Barnes was in your Hydra Institute, what did you know him like?"

"What kind?" Rumlow curled his lips, "A piece of wood? A doll? A murderous weapon?"

"Did you think Sergeant Barnes had a sense of self at that point?" Lena asked.

"How do I know?" Rumlow frowned, "He basically didn't say anything, he only knew to perform tasks, and most of the time he didn't perform tasks was frozen in that glass box."

"What is the general situation of him accepting the task?" Linna asked.

"The chief issued a mission, and he accepted it." Rumlow said, "It's that simple."

"So he doesn't communicate with anyone in the base, he has no friends, his expression is numb, and he will be frozen when there is no task." Linna asked.

There was no expression on Bucky's face, which didn't seem to affect him much.

"Yes." Rumlow said.

"Your Honor," Linna looked up at the judge, "I think this is enough to prove that our client is only treated as a weapon in Hydra, without self-awareness."

"Your Honor, I have a question for the witness." Tony stood up on one side of a lawyer. He looked quite young and looked nervous when he looked at Rumlow, but his words were still clear and full of air.

"You said the Winter Soldier was like a piece of wood inside the base," the lawyer said. "So did he act in any way that seemed humane to you?"

Rumlow frowned, Linna clenched the folder tightly, and Garcia held his breath.

"Yes." Rumlow said.

"What's that?" the lawyer asked.

"He greeted our researcher—" Rumlow—Garcia confirmed that Rumlow gave him a narrow look with sarcasm.

"Your Honor, how does a person know how to say hello to another person if he has lost his sense of self?"

"Objection!" Linna stood up, "This is just the other party's one-sided statement, I request to continue to question witnesses!"

"Please describe what you said, the scene where the Winter Soldier greeted the researcher at that time." Lina said.

"At that time, the researcher was approaching me. I was following the Winter Soldier to report to the mission. When he saw the researcher, he stopped and said the researcher's name." Rumlow said.

"Your Honor, I don't think this is a so-called greeting. It's just a way for the Winter Soldier to confirm that he remembers the researcher's name." Lina said.

"There are so many people, why does the Winter Soldier only want to remember one person's name?" the lawyer said tit for tat.

"Because that researcher is a damn fool." Rumlow interrupted the confrontation between the lawyer and Linna, and said, "He is the only person in the base who speaks for the Winter Soldier, although he is not a good person."

"So the Winter Soldier knows who's been kind to him and wants to remember that person's name," the lawyer said. "I don't think that proves that he's lost his sense of self."

"Objection!" Linna said, "We think that the definition of losing self-awareness is that behavior and thoughts are controlled, but it is not without the most superficial thinking!"

"The other party's definition is obviously vague!" Stark's lawyer said.

"Objection, our definition is clear!" Lina said, she stared at the young Stark lawyer, pursing her lips, showing her sharp aura.

The judge tapped the hammer and ended the debate. He said, "Announce the next witness in court."

A tall woman appeared on the witness stand, she was wearing a gray coat, she was about 30 years old, her blond hair was cut very short, she looked in Bucky's direction, tears were shining in her eyes, and her lips were constantly, constantly trembling.

Yelena Kadikov, the witness of Stark's side, the little girl who Bucky let go, the little girl next to the assassination target, Garcia didn't know what her appearance was to prove, he only hoped that he would tighten his body at any time Stop torturing yourself.

"What is your identity?" the judge asked the woman.

"Elena Kadikov, Your Honor." The woman said, her English had an obvious Russian accent, but she was very fluent, "The daughter of General Kadikov of the former Soviet Union."

"What is your relationship to the accused?" the judge asked.

"James Barnes killed my father." The woman said, with obvious, undisguised anger and hatred in her tone.

"Objection!" Lena stood up, "I demand that James Barnes be changed to the Winter Soldier. We don't think that the person with the name James Barnes should be responsible for what the Winter Soldier did."

"The objection is invalid." The judge said, "This matter is still inconclusive."

Linna sat down abruptly, pursed her lips, and looked at the women in the court.

Stark's lawyer stood up, and he began to ask Yelena questions.

"Ms. Kadikov," he said, "I'm sorry to break your heartbreak, but do you remember the day when the Winter Soldier killed your father?"

Yelena took a deep breath, her face was pale - "I will never forget that day."

"what happened?"

"My father took me hunting," said Yelena, "in a forest not far from where our family lived. He was with two or three other lieutenants, and I followed. I shared a horse with him. , we saw a deer, so Dad took me after it—”

"After the deer disappeared into the forest, and as my father turned the pier, I saw a man in black with silver arms and a blindfold standing two or three trees away from us. .”
